The Boston University Terriers <\/span>(6-10, 3-3 PL) pushed ahead in overtime against the Colgate Raiders (4-13, 0-6 PL) during Saturday\u2019s game at Tyler\u2019s Field. This key win guaranteed the Terriers\u2019 fourth seed spot in the Patriot League tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n

BU had a strong start in the first period, with senior forward Caroline O\u2019Brien scoring in the first minute following a penalty corner by freshman forward Molly Driscoll. O\u2019Brien had two more chances to double the Terriers\u2019 lead at the end of the period, but the shots went wide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rest of the period was scoreless, but the Terriers racked up 16 fouls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Raiders fought hard in the second period, attempting three shots before tying up the game in the 29th minute with a goal by senior forward Hannah Marcotrigiano, her first of the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BU junior goalkeeper Sophie Ortyl had an impressive save in the third period against Colgate junior forward Morgan Willis to keep the score tied at 1-1 through the end of the third period.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colgate pulled ahead in the 55th minute, with Willis finding the net after two saves by Ortyl. BU junior midfielder Maggie Driscoll quickly evened the score just a minute later, right after a series of penalty corners. Both teams fought hard in the final minutes to end up on top, but the score remained 2-2 at the end of regulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving into overtime, the Terriers opened with a quick offense. O\u2019Brien fired off the winning goal at the 45-second mark with an assist by senior midfielder Megal Wetzel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This game was O\u2019Brien\u2019s fourth time this season recording at least five points in a game. Her record currently includes 12 goals and 31 points.<\/span><\/p>\n

BU outshot Colgate 14-11, but allowed 8 shots on goal compared to the Terriers\u2019 own seven shots on goal. The Terriers also had 12 corners to the Raiders\u2019 three, which is the second most in a game this season for BU.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ortyl made four saves for the Terriers, while Colgate\u2019s senior goalkeeper Claire van Kempen stopped three shots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This will be the Terriers\u2019 eleventh time competing in the Patriot League tournament. They will take on the first-seeded American University on November 6 in Washington, D.C. Push back is scheduled for 11 a.m. The game will be available for streaming on ESPN+.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
